After the Xi'an Incident, Lao Jiang still detained Zhang Xueliang, even though the generals of the Northeast Army asked for instructions and the Eighth Route Army also gave advice, but he still failed to change Lao Jiang's attitude and still insisted on placing Zhang Xueliang under house arrest.

Of course, the reply to the outside world was that Zhang Xueliang was unwell and needed to recuperate. Yang Hucheng, who was forced to go into exile, wanted to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. can see this situation, and it is clear that Lao Jiang's anger is still not gone.

Lao Chiang's unkindness to these two generals of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army somewhat dissatisfied the generals who were loyal to them. Under these circumstances, many of the reorganized troops received representatives sent by the Eighth Route Army.

Although most of these delegates did not hold important command positions. However, after these deputies were stationed in the troops, they also developed many party members, publicized many political ideas of the Eighth Route Army, and won the recognition and support of many officers and men.

At present, there are such representatives in Feng Zhi'an's 77th Army, Sun Lianzhong's 71st Army, and Xu Youchang's 51st Army. It can be said that the existence of these representatives also provided the Eighth Route Army with a lot of intelligence about the Central Army.

For the representatives sent to these troops, the instructions of the Eighth Route Army were actually very simple, that is, to try to draw them to the side of the Eighth Route Army. It's just that during the period of bipartisan cooperation, this kind of propaganda work should be as low-key as possible.

Now the representative of the 77th Army is Qiu Jingshan, who served as a lieutenant colonel and staff officer of the Military Training Corps in the 77th Army. As a staff officer of the military training regiment, Qiu Jingshan is also very low-key in the 77th Army in peacetime, and is more responsible for the military training of the troops.

According to Feng Zhi'an's understanding of Qiu Jingshan, if there is nothing important, Qiu Jingshan rarely comes to report to him. What's more, the military training corps at the moment actually doesn't have much to do.

After all, the current situation does not allow Feng Zhi'an to spare too many officers and soldiers to receive training and education from the military training regiment. As long as the troops that can be used, most of them are flooded with the main force and reserve forces.

Suddenly seeing Qiu Jingshan's late night visit, Feng Zhi'an was indeed a little curious about his intentions. It's just that after listening to Qiu Jingshan's report, Feng Zhi'an said with a little excitement: "What you said is true? Do you really have a solution? ”

In fact, Qiu Jingshan was also very surprised when he received the notice from his superiors. Regarding his identity, it is also relatively secret within the Eighth Route Army. And this time He Zhengdao led the army to the expedition, and he knew the list of these representatives.

While lamenting that the intelligence department is so powerful about the infiltration of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, He Zhengdao also understands it to some extent. Participating in the Battle of Wuhan this time, it seems that the only thing he really needs to watch out for may be the descendants of the Central Army.

As for the units reorganized from the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, I believe that if there is any disturbance in these troops, the representatives sent to these units will also pass on the information as soon as possible. In this way, these troops will have no secrets about He Zhengdao.

In fact, when the Japanese army officially launched its attack on the 77th Army, the first division led by He Zhengdao had successfully arrived in Xinyang. It's just that not many people know about this news at the moment.

In order to ensure the concealment of the troops' march, after receiving a telegram urging Li Zongren, He Zhengdao quickly ordered the troops to march in the direction of Xinyang by day and night. Most of the time during the day, I spend time resting in hidden spots.

Even in the past few days, the Japanese reconnaissance planes began to expand the reconnaissance range, but they still failed to find traces of the 1st and 2nd Divisions in the air. As for the three divisions that finally entered Henan, He Zhengdao used them as his sons.

The three divisions followed the baggage troops escorting the supplies, divided into three routes, and marched from time to time during the day. Such a way of marching will also cause a certain amount of deception to the Japanese army. Let them feel that it will take some time for the Eighth Route Army to arrive in Xinyang to participate in the battle.

The advantage of this is naturally that it can hit the little devil by surprise. And the reason why the first division was able to march so quickly and covertly this time. It is also inseparable from the reconnaissance brigade that was sent here before.

Every time the troops marched at night, some dangerous areas were guarded by small detachments of reconnaissance brigades along the route of the main force. If there is any enemy situation, these teams can also deal with it in time and warn them.

And during the day, even the garrison of the Central Army stationed in the local area did not know that a division passed by their territory. In this case, the first division quietly arrived in Xinyang, and it is normal that not many people know about it.

When the Japanese army launched an attack on the blocking position of the 77th Army, Li Xiangdong personally led two regiments of reconnaissance troops, which had already infiltrated the rear of the little devils. It's just that the reconnaissance brigade has always been very careful in its reconnaissance, and it didn't even alarm the attacking Japanese troops at all.

It wasn't until the reconnaissance brigade discovered that the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which attacked the blocking position of the 77th Army, actually opened a journey of nearly a day with the follow-up troops. Li Xiangdong felt that this might be a good fighter.

Most importantly, after today's attack by the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, the reconnaissance brigade has successfully found the heavy artillery unit of the division. Li Xiangdong, who knew very well the importance of this heavy artillery wing to the Japanese army, decided to attack the Japanese artillery positions at night.

After receiving the telegram from Li Xiangdong, He Zhengdao thought about it and felt that it was better to attack during the day. In the case of a night attack, although there is a suddenness. But on the other hand, the little devil's defense of the artillery position at night must be very tight.

In contrast, during the day the front-line troops went on the offensive, and the artillery positions in the rear were defended only by the infantry attached to them. With the ability of the reconnaissance brigade, as long as it finds the right opportunity, it will be able to infiltrate it more smoothly and end it out.

It is even possible that the infantry of the division and regiment that is attacking on the front line wants to rescue this heavy artillery wing, but they are afraid that they will not be able to draw troops in a short time. Once they draw their forces, it means that the attack in front of them is completely lost.

A sneak attack during the day is certainly risky, but He Zhengdao believes in the strength of Li Xiangdong and the reconnaissance brigade. After all, for the officers and men of the reconnaissance brigade, the impersonation of Japanese soldiers is nothing new.

Once the main forces of the Japanese army were mixed with the 77th Army on the front line, the defense of the artillery positions behind would inevitably be slackened. When they knew that something had happened to the artillery position and wanted to send troops to rescue, they were afraid that it would not be easy to withdraw.

If they retreated, the blocking troops would take the opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack, which might result in even greater losses for the Japanese. After some consideration, He Zhengdao forwarded his decision to Li Xiangdong, who was staying in the rear of the Japanese army.

Looking at the instructions sent by He Zhengdao, Li Xiangdong discussed with the two reconnaissance regiment commanders and said, "Okay, then our attack will be changed to tomorrow." Tonight, everyone should take the time to get some rest.

As for the matter of infiltrating the camp tomorrow, it will be handed over to Lin Tie and your battalion to be responsible. We also have two days here, and I believe you have already detected some of the little devils. Strive to get in, and take this artillery wing with the outside and the inside.

If we can take this heavy artillery wing, then a regiment will be responsible for blocking it. The 2nd Regiment tried to pull these heavy guns away as quickly as possible. You know, we didn't come out with heavy artillery this time.

Even if we can't take it away, we will destroy these heavy artillery. The little devils don't have this heavy artillery wing, and if they want to break through the blocking position of the 77th Army, I'm afraid it's not easy. Tomorrow's battle must cheer me up. ”

'Yes, Brigadier! ’

After the battle plan was determined, He Zhengdao instructed the reconnaissance personnel in the Xinyang area to get in touch with the party representatives of the 77th Army who were blocking the attack on the front line. Let him contact the 77th Army, and strive for good cooperation between the two sides to knock the little devil hard.

Even for the sake of secrecy, He Zhengdao gave all the merits that he might have obtained to the 77th Army. If the reconnaissance brigade can destroy the heavy artillery wing of the 13th Division of the Japanese army, then this credit will become the honor of the 77th Army death squad.

After listening to Qiu Jingshan's words, Feng Zhi'an also said with an incredulous expression: "Your troops have arrived here so quickly. You even dare to send troops into the rear of the little devils, too bold, right? ”

Facing Feng Zhi'an's surprise, Qiu Jingshan said with a smile: "Commander, Commander He Zhengdao, who participated in the battle on behalf of our Eighth Route Army this time, is the youngest military general of our Eighth Route Army, and he is also the best general in our army to win by surprise.

In fact, our main forces have not yet arrived in Xinyang. However, the vanguard of the 67th Army had already arrived here a few days earlier than the main force. The troops on the other side of the river this time were the reconnaissance units of the 67th Army.

This unit is also the elite trained by Commander He, and they have done this kind of thing many times to infiltrate behind enemy lines. And during the day, when they attacked, they also happened to discover the loopholes of the Japanese army, so they remembered this combat plan.

According to the meaning of our commander, if the commander believes in us, he is willing to gamble. Maybe tomorrow we can be on the Shihe front line and catch the little devils off guard. After all, they are always beaten, and the soldiers in the army also feel very aggrieved? ”

It was clear that relying solely on a 132nd division to defend and counterattack could not give the attacking Japanese army a head-on attack. If the 77th Army is transferred up and the whole army counterattacks together, it may really make the Japanese army suffer a little.

Just when Feng Zhi'an was thinking about the cost and consequences of this gamble, Qiu Jingshan said in a timely manner: "Commander, our Commander He also asked me to convey a situation. That is, if tomorrow our reconnaissance unit can succeed smoothly.

At that time, when reporting the results of the battle, the army commander can report the officers and soldiers who have been killed or injured in the battle in the name of the death squad. In this way, the credit of this battle will also be calculated to the head of the 77th Army, which is also a comfort to the officers and soldiers who died in the battle. ”

With such a big credit, the Eighth Route Army didn't even want it?

Thinking of this, Feng Zhi'an's expression was a little strange and said, "You Commander He is willing to give us even this credit?" ”

'Army Commander, for Commander He, he is here to conduct joint operations on behalf of the Eighth Route Army. As for such a merit, even if it is reported to the top, what reward will the government give? If it were you, maybe Lao Jiang would praise it.

The most important thing is that such a credit is undoubtedly the icing on the cake for Commander He. But for our 77th Army, it is undoubtedly a relief in the snow. With the credit of this battle, Lao Jiang shouldn't be too embarrassed for us, right? ’

Qiu Jingshan's last words finally let Feng Zhi'an know. He Zhengdao has not yet arrived, so he gave him this big gift, even if he doesn't want to accept it, he can't refuse. After all, the 77th Army at this time really needed a victory too much! (To be continued.) )
